well it depends on if it has ever been taken apart before. If it hasn't it most likely only had a bead of RTV (silicone) applied when it was put together. There is a gasket you can either buy, or get some material at an auto parts store and make your own. That's what I did, its a lot cheaper.

oops....well there are two penetrations. The most likely culprit will be the pinion shaft seal.

well considering its a 27 year old cart, I bet it is. We have a section for folks doing restorations of older carts, you might pose this question to someone there, as they will have more info about where your looking for.
